Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Dick Morris is a political consultant who is paid to tell candidates how to communicate effectively. In keeping with his skills, Dick Morris came out with a new book a month ago with the easy to understand and remember title of Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us … and What to Do About It.

What to do about it? Which it does he mean?

Actually, Dick Morris originally wanted to come out with a longer, more convoluted title for his book. The book was supposed to be entitled, Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments and Little Chipmunks Are Scamming Us … and What to Do About It.

The publisher’s agent worried that the title might make Dick Morris sound a bit kooky, so they changed it.
